Khushi woke up in the morning feeling a strange feeling of satisfaction although her body was aching in "unmentionable" places. She was so glad Jiji had come to visit. She always loved how jiji ran her fingers through Khushi's hair. Only when the hand started moving south and stopped at her cleavage did her mind register "this is not jiji". She opened her eyes wide as saucers and was about to yell at the top of her lungs when Arnav silenced her with a kiss. It took khushi a moment to recall last nights "activities".
After spending the night with a guy for the first time normal indian girls would have a pretty blush in their face, some would smile shyly, others would lower their gaze and feel really shy looking at the guy while some[ a huge majority] would actually almost pretend that nothing happened.
Our heroine is different so her first sentence is different
"eww... morning breath... I haven't brushed yet" and looked up to see a very amused pair of eyes.
It was then that Khushi realized the following things:
- Arnav was half lying half sitting in her bed beside her.
- He was naked other than the bed sheet covering him from his waist down.
- She was naked [ the realization made her panic slightly which in turn made her jump up to a sitting position which in turn made the sheet slid down and expose her breast which in turn made her look hastily at him to see him looking at her breast which in turn made her pull the sheet up to cover herself as if her life depended on it]
- There were one sheet and two naked people and their clothes were thrown very far.
Khushi looked at Arnav to see him smirking naughtily at her which turned her into a traditional indian girl making her blush and lower her gaze.
It was now Arnav's turn to talk
"You are not good with morning afters are you?"
Which made Khushi look up at him and answer back with as much self confidence as a girl totally naked but covered by thin sheet could muster
"I wouldn't know this is my first time you see"
Arnav smiled at her as if she was a cute baby
"thank god for that"
Before she could began Arnav spoke again... his expression changing from adorable to concerned
"Are you okay?? Are you... sore?? Does it hurt a lot"
Realizing what he meant she blushed a deeper shade of red and answered truthfully
"yes it does... a lot actually"
Arnav probably hadn't expected this answer... he expected her to say "a little/ nope not at all" kind of answers
"I'm really sorry... take a aspirin... wait I'll bring one for you"
"Really!!! You'll just march downstairs and bring it right???"
"oh"
"Arnav relax... I'll go down in a bit"
"Khushi..."
"hmmm..."
"you don't regret it, do you???"
Khushi should regret it. She was the type of girl for whom sex before marriage was an absolute no-no but she couldn't. Yesterday night had been magical. She could still feel Arnav's hand and lips all over her body
She didn't actually reply but lower her gaze.
"Close your eyes... I'm going to the bathroom"
Before she could even start Arnav grabbed her hand "do you regret it?"
Sensing his dilemma she looked at him and answered "No I don't"
"Did you... I mean...did you... I mean why did you come yesterday Arnavji"
"Because you were avoiding me and I felt like seeing you" Which was somewhat true right
Khushi looked at the watch. "It's 6:30. everyone will get up soon you better leave"
"Go freshen up in the bathroom and I'll put on my clothes by then"
Khushi came back from the toilet to see Arnav already dressed.
"Bye" he said while kissing khushi lightly on the lips
"Wait" Arnav turned back "You can leave by the back door. No need to climb down the window"
"Thank god" he said and followed Khushi out.
...
The following weeks were probably the best weeks of their lives. They talked continuously on phone, they went out on dates , they were simply in love. Arnav and Khushi decided not to have sex any more till they are actually married.
...
"Chotte, wait I want to talk with you"
Di called him.
"Yes, Di"
"I was thinking how will next December be for your wedding. Garima aunty was also agreeing. The weather will be cold and perfect. What do you think?"
Arnav made a mental calculation. Next December meant 6 whole months!!! Hell no!!
"Di I've important conference next month... sorry it'll be fashion week and stuff I'll be realy busy"
"But bhai, fashion week is in november. December we are free and what important conference"
Mentally punching Akash he said through gritted teeth "you don't know about it akash.. I forgot to tell you"
"Fine chotte!! how about October??"
"Di I'm busy August, September and October... it's not possible"
Nani being the ever so clever lady of this house now joined the conversation
"Then how about next month chotte??"
Arnav inwardly thought next month is also too late but he knew if he refused they'll place the wedding in next January!!
He pretended to look through his diary and said "Next month seems fine"
Nani felt like laughing out loud but she controlled herself.
"But bhai we are very busy next month. We have the important mehta deal and we are also buying Rajputh Fashions and for that you have to go to London twice."
Arnav's face fell but he quickly sorted it out "No worries we'll shift everything to august"
Thus began the preparation of Arnav Khushi's wedding next month
...
Arnav looked at Khushi from afar while Khushi was busy choosing dresses for the wedding with Payal and Anjali.
Suddenly Payal's son hugged her from behind and Anjali's daughter kissed her from front. She pulled both of the together and tickled them endlessly while giggling away with them.
"Khushi bitwa baccho ke sang kaise ghul mil jate hain. She becomes a kid while playing with them. Khushi would make a terrific mother"
Hearing this Khushi's face fell a little but she quickly recovered. This didn't go unnoticed by Arnav.
Suddenly he felt it hard to even breathe.
He did warn khushi that she'll never be a mother. She knew that!! She agreed after knowing that!! Then why is he feeling guilty??? Would it be better if he let her go. She could marry and have lots of children.
He'd give her all the happiness in the world but one thing he'll never compromise is that "he'll never ever become a father" . He made that promise when he was merely 14 and never planned to back out. It'll be the ultimate revenge on his father.
